Qcells was founded in Thalheim, Germany—employing over 2,000 people. Upon Qcells’ establishment, other companies also began opening facilities in the surrounding area, giving rise to what would come to be known as Germany’s “Solar Valley.” That same year, the company reached a global solar capacity of 1GW.
Qcells currently operates the largest solar module factory of its kind in the United States, based in Dalton, Georgia. In January 2023, Qcells announced the largest investment in U.S. solar history to build a complete and sustainable solar supply chain in the United States. With this announcement, Qcells will have a production capacity of 8.4 GW by 2024 and a total of 4,000 clean energy jobs. These investments underscores Qcells’ commitment to USA manufacturing.
